Amazing under normal circumstance - life saver in lockdown.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2021

My first venture in DAB was an Otone BluMotion from a local electronics shop. It was the sound quality that convinced me to buy the device and I've never been disappointed by the sound. The rest of device falls foul of style over substance. Beautiful to look at and listen to but navigating stations or settings with what turned out to be silly touch buttons on top left the device on Radio Two until the aerial came off.

A few other DABs have entered the affray. An amazing sounding JVC Valve Hi-Fi that unfortunately died within the year. It's replacement - a Pure radio whose sound doesn't live up to the hype and the smallest Goodman's DAB radio ever that is surprisingly good for sound and reception but more use for camping or walking.

The Majority DAB radio is about twice the size of the Goodman's but a fraction of the size of the Otone and Pure. It was never meant to match the sound power of either of these but meant to be useful for the kitchen or balcony and is loud enough for either. But more importantly, the sound quality is superb. Radio Two, Classical, country, 80's and Heart Christmas are all clear and enjoyable on DAB as is our local Exmouth Air on FM.

The device itself if simple to use. Has actual buttons that feel like they are being pressed and navigating the station lists is quick and easy making you want to explore the wide range of stations on offer. Yes, this is mostly aimed at DAB, but the big stations are all there and you can add your favourite FM (probably local) stations as presents. Most the buttons are either logical to use without seeing (like the volume) or are on the front making it easier to use from a shelf. Personally, I find the device sounds better if use at or slightly over head height.

The colour on the screen is nice touch and the information keeps you in the know if you want to see what / who is playing / talking. The aerial is much higher quality than the Otone and seems unlikely to snap off and makes moving it from room to room less concerning.

My only niggle is the on / off slider switch - it's slightly frustrating to move. I think this should have been the lock switch with a simpler push button for on /off.

When I went to register, I saw several of Majority's other products including their RS1 microphone. Because of the quality of the radio, I brought the RS1 as present and that is just as good.

I think I stumbled across Majority and the DAB Radio in a YouTube review and am really glad I did.

This is very compact yet has a pleasant tone, is easy to operate and to change channels and works well on all the DAB channels that I've tried. There's no crackling, fading or cutting out, which I've experienced with other makes, and the charge lasts around 10 hours, although it's easy to charge with the USB cable supplied. They offer a free 3 year extended warranty, which suggests that they have confidence in the product.
Even their instructions are easily understood!

Insgesamt empfehlens- und preiswertes Gerät mit leichten Schwächen
Reviewed in Germany on 25 July 2024
Verified Purchase
Das Majority Eddington ist schlichtweg das DAB+ Radio, nach dem ich lange gesucht habe!

Das Gerät wird in einer einfachen aber völlig ausreichenden Schachtel geliefert, die neben dem Gerät selbst die üblichen Garantie- und Konformitätserklärungen sowie ein mehrsprachiges Handbuch enthält.

Das Gerät besitzt ein aus Kunststoff gefertigtes Gehäuse mit kompakten Abmessungen. Es fühlt wertig an., und ist etwas kleiner und leichter als ein modernes Smartphone. „Look & Feel“ erinnern an die kleinen tragbaren Transistor-Radios vergangener Zeiten – hier allerdings mit der Technik von heute. Das Gerät ist augenscheinlich sauber verarbeitet und äußerlich betrachtet im besten Sinne seinen Preis wert.

Durch seine äußerlichen Eigenschaften ist das Majority Eddington für mich ideal zur Mitnahme an meinem Fahrrad geeignet (in meinem Fall mit einem separat erworbenen „SP CONNECT Universal Interface“ – welches fast zu 100% genau auf die Rückseite des Majority Eddington passt - und dem passenden Gegenstück am Fahrrad). Für einen mobilen Einsatz spricht auch, dass dieses DAB+ Radio selbst bei nicht komplett ausgefahrener Teleskopantenne meistens ausreichend gute Empfangsstärke aufweist (was allerdings auch stark von zuverlässiger Senderabdeckung im Verwendungsgebiet abhängig ist). Wasserdichtigkeit darf man von diesem diesem kleine Apparat allerdings nicht erwarten, da er natürlich nicht originär für solche Einsatzzwecke gedacht ist.

Die (Mono-) Klangqualität ist meiner Meinung nach den begrenzten Gegebenheiten des eingebauten Lautsprechers angemessen und durchaus angenehm. Wummernde Tiefbässe kann man naturgemäß von einem Gerät dieser Größe nicht erwarten. Die meiner Ansicht nach völlig ausreichende Lautstärke ist in 15 Stufen über zwei Tasten an der rechten Gehäuseseite regelbar und weist auch in höheren Stufen kein verzerrtes Klangbild auf. Wer möchte, kann einen (Stereo-) Kopfhörer an die sich ebenfalls auf der rechten Geräteseite befindlichen 3,5 mm-Klinkenbuchse anschließen. Diese Funktion habe ich allerdings keinem Test unterzogen, sodass ich zum Klang des Geräts in diesem Bereich keine Aussage treffen kann.

Auf der linken Geräteseite befindet sich der Ein- und Ausschalter sowie der Anschluss zum Aufladen des fest eingebauten und nicht ohne Weiteres austauschbaren Akkus. Als Anschluss-Art ist hier leider eine veraltete Micro-USB-Buchse verbaut. Hier würde ich mir einen zeitgemäßeren USB-C-Anschluss wünschen.

Ein vollgeladener Akku sorgte bei mir bei mittlerer Lautstärke und häufig voller Helligkeit des Displays (im Rahmen des Tests) für ca. fünf bis sechs Stunden ununterbrochene Funktion des Radios.

Das farbige, nicht spiegelnde und bei durchschnittlichen Lichtverhältnissen ausreichend helle, scharfe und gut ablesbare Display fällt für diese Geräteklasse ungewöhnlich groß aus, da es bis auf eine Reihe Tasten unterhalb des Bildschirms die rechte Gehäusehälfte komplett einnimmt. Angezeigt werden im obersten Bildschirmbereich neben der aktuellen Betriebsart (Digital Radio / FM / Bluetooth) die (durch die Radiosender synchronisierte) Uhrzeit und der Ladezustand des Akkus (leider nur als dreiteilige Balkengrafik und nicht als prozentualer Wert).

Der mittlere Display-Bereich wird je nach Betriebsart unterschiedlich für Informationen des laufenden Programms eingenommen. In der DAB+ Betriebsart werden neben dem Sendernamen - abhängig davon, was der aktuelle Sender an zusätzlichen Daten bereitstellt - z. B. Interpreten- und Titelname sowie weitere Informationen angezeigt. Technisch Interessierte können sich bei laufendem Digitalradio-Empfang durch wiederholten Druck auf die OK-Taste unterhalb des Displays weitere technische Daten (z.B. Frequenz, Signal-Fehler und -Stabilität des aktuellen Senders) anzeigen lassen.

Völlig unverständlich bleibt für mich leider, warum angesichts des tollen Farbdisplays das jeweilige Senderlogo nicht angezeigt wird – und Benutzer*innen sich stattdessen mit einem öden Logo der jeweiligen Betriebsart begnügen müssen.

In der (derzeit = Mitte 2024 noch) brauchbaren FM-Betriebsart werden im Hauptbereich des Displays der eingestellte Sender, die aktuelle Frequenz und RDS-Daten zum Programm angezeigt, sofern diese vom jeweiligen Sender bereitgestellt werden. Die FM Betriebsart wurde von mir nicht weitergehend getestet.

Die Verbindung und das Abspielen von Audio-Inhalten in der Bluetooth-Betriebsart gelang mit meinem halbwegs aktuellen Smartphone auf Anhieb, wobei das Display in dieser Betriebsart im Hauptanzeigebereich neben einem Bluetooth-Logo leider nur rudimentäre Basis-Informationen wie „Connected“ oder „Playing“ bereitstellt. Auf eine Anzeige von Informationen zum abspielten Inhalt muss man indes unverständlicherweise und schmerzlich verzichten, selbst wenn vom verbundenen Bluetooth-Gerät vollständig getaggte Inhalte übermittelt werden.

Der untere Bereich des Displays ist weiteren System-Anzeigen (z.B. für den Sleep-Timer, Weckerfunktionen, Signalstärke usw.) vorbehalten.

Gesteuert wird das Majority Eddington neben der bereits erwähnten Lautstärkeregelung auf der rechten Geräteseite über insgesamt acht weitere, logisch-funktionell bedruckte, prellfreie Tasten mit gutem haptischem Feedback. Die Tasten sind in zwei Gruppen am Gerät angeordnet. Vier Tasten mit mutmaßlich häufiger benötigten Funktionen (Aufwärts, OK, Abwärts und Betriebsart-Umschalter) befinden sich unterhalb des Displays auf der Vorderseite des Geräts.

Weniger häufig benötigte Funktionen sind auf den Tasten an der Geräte-Oberseite hinterlegt. Die Tasten „1“ und „2“ sind der Speicherung zweier Lieblingssender vorbehalten. „3+“ ruft die Liste aller benutzerspezifischen Senderfavoriten (insgesamt je 10 Speicherplätze für DAB+ und FM) auf. Die Auswahl eines gespeicherten Senders erfolgt schließlich über Betätigung der OK-Taste auf der Vorderseite.

Die letzte Taste am oberen rechten Gehäuserand ist mit „Menü“ und einem Schlüsselsymbol beschriftet. Ein einfacher Druck ruft das Hauptmenü auf und bietet in mehreren Untermenüs eine Vielzahl von Einstellungs-Möglichkeiten und Funktionen rund um den Betrieb des Geräts, die mittels der Auf, Ab, und OK-Tasten auf der Vorderseite bearbeitet werden können.

Wird die Menü-Taste für mehrere Sekunden gedrückt gehalten, aktiviert das Gerät eine Tastensperre über alle Tasten und verhindert so unbeabsichtigtes Betätigen. Erneutes längeres Drücken hebt die Sperre wieder auf.

Die gesamte Bedienung des Majority Eddington gestaltet sich meiner Erfahrung nach sehr intuitiv und logisch, sodass die Anleitung im Karton bleiben kann und nur im Zweifel zu Rate gezogen werden muss.

Pro & Kontra

++ empfindlicher DAB+ Empfang
++ intuitive, einfach Bedienung
++ für die Größe des Geräts guter und nahezu verzerrungsfreier Klang auch bei höherer Lautstärke
+ großes, scharfes, nicht spiegelndes und gut ablesbares Farbdisplay
+ lange Akku-Laufzeit
+ ansprechendes Design mit wertiger Haptik
+ angemessener Kaufpreis

- fest eingebauter, nicht ohne Weiteres wechselbarer Akku
- veralteter Mini-USB-Anschluss
-- trotz sehr gutem Farbdisplay keine Anzeige von Senderlogos
-- In der Betriebsart Bluetooth nur rudimentäre Funktionsanzeige, keinerlei Info-Anzeige zur abgespielten Audio-Datei

Fazit:
Das Majority Eddington ist ein kleines feines Gerät mit aus meiner Sicht ausgewogenem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das Potential des schönen und großen Farbdisplays wird leider nicht voll ausgereizt und auch die Bluetooth-Wiedergabe weist Schwächen auf. Die sehr guten Empfangs- und Klangeigenschaften, die Kompaktheit und das schlichte aber dennoch schicke Design machen das Majority Eddington dennoch zu (m)einem nahezu perfekten Begleiter.
